Many many thanks GAP...Marcus and Keigs....I appreciate your visits to Congaland....Seems
like I am going to stick with the PNG style for one more...have plans for a large headed
fella perched on an orators chair....I hope it's something I can get done by labor day but
I have a vacation coming up so that might push me a bit later into September. Gotta go to work.
Thanks again...

Who authorized a Vacation?? I don't think there is time enough for you to take such liberties. Your next carving demands your utmost, Unterrupted, participation and leaves no personal time for anything but the utmost bare personal needs! Check with management after 30 days! Until then, cancel all travel and leisure plans that have been made.
Sincerely,
The Management

That looks so like your stuff ....but that's gonna be one mother of a pendant. You will need a big old gold chain to hold up that bling-bling! I can't wait so see where you are going....is the back gonna get hollowed out?

Another fine piece in the making! It's been too long since your last one, I was getting worried! I'm hoping that you took a carving break to record the next Mensters album?

YAHOOOOO...found a source for some big basswood logs that I will scout and purchase tomorrow
morning...watch for a BIG Conga that will certainly match my tendency for exotic carvings...in
the meantime i gotta keep working on this latest project....
Thanks much to all of you...Benzart(always the inspiration)...GMan (I am planning to do some hollowing onthe backside cuz it's pretty heavy for a mask)...BK (your knowledge of this stuff is incredible...my reference
actually is a Papua Gulf piece that I found by googling images)....Kapu (thanks for the
comps--keep chizzlin')....TikiDuddy and Kingstiedye (glad to be back...thanks for noticing)
and my buddy Finky (yes...have been doing some Menster recording...only a few tracks this
summer...you will get a copy of this summer's efforts.....another month or so to flush things
out). Appreciate your comments...will get some updates up this weekend.

"Bout time you went back to work Slacker.. Are we going to have to come up there and chain your foot to the carving bench?? Don't let any of us sneek up on you once you get your logs, Or the chain's ON that Leg.

thanks for pushing Ben and thanks for liking my stuff Surf-n-Turf....
Not sure if anyone every travels back in time...but I noticed a number of pics in my first
six pages were mixed up by shutterfly....I deleted many of them and will attempt to do a
little "old school conga" composite post within a couple weeks. Gotta go chipping for now.
